A swirling conflux of elemental water streaming from the elemental plane into this one. Floods and the spirits who dwell within them seem to issue from it without limit.

Useful Info

Elemental wellsprings are aquatic monsters who batter you with pounding waves and pour out summoned water elementals to attack you. They can be found in any area where water exists, except for the first half of the Dungeon.

Tips & Tricks

• Primal Wave can deal serious damage to weaker characters, especially if you're already dealing with trouble. Fortunately they can't leave the bodies of water they live in. If you encounter an elemental wellspring and you're not at full health or have other opponents in sight, feel free to back away from it and come back when you're better prepared.
• Aquatic and non-breathing characters (octopodes, merfolk, grey draconians, and mummies) all take significantly reduced damage from Primal Wave, and you'll have an easier time moving about in the watery aftermath if you're flying above it.
• While water elementals aren't terribly dangerous on their own, their asphyxiating attacks can cause major damage over time, as well as effectively silencing casters. Avoid letting the summoned swarm surround you if you can help it.
